Greetings ...
My basic understanding of coaxial cable - for the purposes of transmitting analog or digital channels - is that it has a capacity of at least 900 mhz (if not more). That would equate to 150 analog channels, or to 150 to 600 (if not more, and depending on conditions) digital channels.
Now, with regards to Fiber-Optic Cable, are we truely talking about capacity in the GHZ range? If so, how many GHZ are we dealing with? It is a personal assumption that if in fiber-optic the capacity is at least 10 GHZ (10,000 mhz), then this would equate to 1,600+ analog channels, or to 1,600 to 6,400 digital channels.
Please enlighten me - brief explanation will do.
Thanx-A-Lot, Franko-Video-09
